gods know i am fighting still

a young woman would answer her call. Heloise stood, waiting as the other skid to a halt. it seemed she had run all the way here once the challenge had come up. good; she didn't want to pussyfoot around anymore. she wanted eager partners. even if she may never see this one again, it was important to meet each bout with eagerness. "you honor me" the ivory woman would say politely, dipping her head.

not one to keep the girl waiting, Heloise rushed at her once she was prepared. this was a friendly spar, not a battle. the other wasn't that larger than her, but she still towered compared to her sleek build. she'd turn sharply as she neared, aiming to shove her shoulder into the wolf's side. hoping to wind her or make her stumble, Heloise wished for an opening. better yet, if her boney shoulder did some brusing she'd welcome that too.
